 A leper came to [Jesus] begging him, and kneeling he said to him, "If you choose, you can make me clean." Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him,
"I do choose. Be made clean!" Mark 1:40-41 |

| St. James prepares for 61st year of Friday Gumbo! | Opening on the first Friday in Lent, February 24, the St. James Episcopal Church Women - and guys, and friends - invite you to Bishops Hall, at the corner of Florida and N. Fourth Street for Gumbo 2012!
In the 61st year of this tradition, fabulous Gumbo lunches of either shrimp or chicken and sausage gumbo, with Sensation Salad, bread and a tasty dessert will be served from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. each Friday during Lent. Dine-in customers can enjoy water, tea or coffee with their meal.
Drive-thru pickup of boxed lunches is also available. Or, order some a la carte items for heat-and-eat meals at home or the office: pints and quarts of gumbo, rice, cole slaw, dessert servings and bread by the loaf are offered. Just phone in your pick-up order to 225-387-5141 on Friday mornings between 8 and 10, and it can be delivered to your car on our Fourth Street pick-up lane!
St. James' Friday Lenten Gumbo lunches are the fundraiser for the Episcopal Church Women's outreach projects. The St. James ECW has offered assistance to numerous local groups and agencies, as well as making significant contributions to hurricane relief as well as foreign mission work involving parishioners and of local interest. |
